No updates detected in the log for the freshclam daemon (the
 ClamAV update process).  If the freshclam daemon is not running,
 you may need to restart it.  Other options:
...

Because 22.04 recently upgraded clamav from 0.103.5 to 1.4.3

The specified work around there solved it for me too:

adding a new /etc/logwatch/conf/services/clam-update.conf:

LogFile =
LogFile = none
*JournalCtl = "--output=cat --unit=clamav-freshclam.service"

iRedMail — work around: Logwatch (7.5.6) doesn't catch freshclam updates anymore.
